How Adobe Acrobat Reader prints
- • Printing a PDF to Microsoft Print to PDF makes a brand new PDF from the printed pages.
- • Print as image in the advanced options turns each page into a picture, which behaves like a scan.
- • Form fields print as they appear, flattened into the page.
What that means when you underline text
- • Formatting applies to the recovered text exactly as it would in a PDF that was saved with fonts.
- • After export, the recovered text can be selected, copied and searched, which the printout could not do.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The underline follows the text's colour and position.
- • Underlines move with their words when text reflows.
Questions people ask
+Can I remove an underline?
Yes. Select the words and press U again.
+Why can't I select text in my Microsoft Print to PDF file?
The driver often draws every letter as a shape instead of writing text. MythosPDF reads those shapes and turns them back into real text before you edit.
+Is it better to reprint from Adobe Acrobat Reader?
If you still have the Adobe Acrobat Reader file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
